Fargo has some beautiful historic neighborhoods, with an architectural character of the houses, beautiuful woodwork, and mature vegetation that cannot be duplicated today. I would like to suggest that Fargo consider establishing a historic preservation program that would provide incentives for homeowners to list their homes and neighborhoods on the National Register of Historic Places, and provide further incentives to restore their older homes in ways that maintain their historic character. (The city's current NRI program in older neighborhoods has no historic design standards). Sioux Falls, South Dakota, serves as an excellent example of what might be done in Fargo.
